My aim is to form collaborative groups that examines basic parts of the plot and developing a summary assignment for Bruiser.
THEN they create their own basic parts of a plot of a story with the four characters/traits (collaboratively).
Individually, they will write a story in the voice of two characters (1-2 paragraphs) per part of plot (total of 10-15 paragraphs).
